Samsung Pay®

Samsung Pay Convenient and Secure Mobile Payment

Overview

We’re excited to announce Navy Federal Credit Union has partnered with Samsung Pay,* the latest in mobile payment options. This service is available to members with Navy Federal MasterCard® and Visa® credit or debit cards.

Samsung Pay works at 90 percent of payment terminals by using magnetic secure transmission (MST) and near-field communication (NFC) to transmit payment information.

To protect your information, Samsung Pay uses tokenization and fingerprint authorization. Tokenization generates a unique sequence of numbers (instead of transmitting your account information) every time you make a purchase. The “token” is encrypted and eliminates the need for merchants to store your card data on their networks.

The service is free* for our Navy Federal credit and debit cardholders.

Eligible devices include the Samsung Galaxy S6®, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge®, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+® and Samsung Galaxy Note® 5. Members can set up their Navy Federal MasterCard and Visa credit or debit cards and start using Samsung Pay at authorized merchants.

FAQs

What is Samsung Pay?

Samsung Pay* is a safe and simple way to make mobile payments with select Samsung Galaxy devices, and it works at almost any retailer where you can swipe or tap your card.

How does Samsung Pay work?

Samsung Pay uses proprietary technology that works with both Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) and Near-Field Communication (NFC) to make contactless mobile payments. MST and NFC enable you to make secure transactions at virtually every card reader where you can swipe or tap your card.

Where can I use Samsung Pay?

Samsung Pay works almost anywhere you can swipe or tap your card. From the grocery store to the coffee shop to your favorite clothing stores, Samsung Pay is the only mobile payment service that works at the majority of U.S. retail locations. In situations where you have to dip your card or in places where you don't swipe your card yourself (e.g., sit-down restaurants, hotels, auto shops), it's better to use your actual card. Samsung Pay doesn't currently work at gas station pumps with dip readers, but it will work at most gas station cashier card readers.
